DEVELOPER Marrtree has sold the final property of nine 2,000 sq ft family homes on its latest £5m residential scheme in Ilkley.

Known as the Heathers, Marrtree completed construction on the homes close to Ilkley town centre at the start of 2020.

Marrtree director William Marshall said: “We had already sold three of the nine houses when the pandemic hit in 2020, but marketing the remaining houses became very difficult during all those months of the lockdown.

"As soon as restrictions began to ease we saw a great deal of interest in the development, and the houses sold very rapidly. I think the fantastic Ilkley location, with the dales landscape all around, along with the modern style and quality of the homes, ticked a lot of boxes for people looking to relocate, or just to move to a more spacious house, as priorities changed in the face of further potential lockdowns.”

The development was marketed by estate agent Dacre Son & Hartley.
